Game of Thrones *Spoiler* Thread
There's been some recent confusion with the old spoiler thread, so I'm kicking off a new one for tonight's premiere. This is going to be the one for folks who've read all the books. So anything anybody might want to talk about is in bounds. Suffice to say, if you haven't read the books, you'll probably want to stay out of here until you do...
I'll bump the old spoiler-free thread shortly in case anybody's interested. For future reference the link to that one is here |

I really enjoyed it, and didn't miss Lady Stoneheart at all. Her appearance didn't fit with the season 4 themes. I wouldn't be surprised to hear they shot it, and didn't include it after looking at the whole episode. |

I'm thinking episode 3 or 4. Have to reintroduce the band and everything.

The idea that her "love" for her children is selfish at its core is a reader invention, as far as I can tell. Here's Varys': Quote:

I agree that in the books she does genuinely love her children, and it's not really a selfish love.
BUT, the series does make her much more sympathetic than she is in the books.

My interpretation of her in the books, and admittedly I've only read them 4 or 5 times, is that she "loves" her children the way a pageant mom does. Her every action, to my recollection, is about herself.

I know I'm a week late but I rewatched episode 9 for the hell of it and I love that part when the Mammoth started running away with his ass on fire and that Giant was running after him like "Oh shit my mammoth."

Didn't think they'd have him kill Shae. Welp as much as they have white washed Tyrion I bet everyone forgave him for that murder.

Book Shae definitely had it coming, even more so than TV show Shae.
